Draw a small circle inside the top half of the B
Draw another circle outside the top half of the B close to
where it curves in to make the bottom half of the B
Next draw an eye shape on top of the B and let part of the
lines of the eye shape go off the page.
Draw another eye shape just under the first eye at an angle
from the first eye (still on top of the “B”)
Draw a right angle on the top left hand corner of the
bottom part of the B.
Connect the bottom part of the right angle to the left edge
of the bottom half of the B with a curved line.
Draw a curved line on the top part of the B coming up to
meet the small circle but not touching the circle.
Draw a letter “L” on the right side of the lower part of the
B touching the right edge.
Draw two small arcs touching the horizontal line, one
inside the bottom part of the B and the other just outside.
Draw curvy lines looking like a fluffy cloud outside the
